A "Hot Take" on Personalized mRNA MedicinesmRNA’s small-scale and cell-free production are often-touted benefits in the personalized medicines sphere. But as I reviewed my notes from the BioPhorum ATMP member event, I found myself coming face to face with a difficult truth.

Picasso, Pick-Up Lines, & Personalized Medicine: mRNA's Path ForwardOverall, my presentation on what the mRNA industry can learn from the artist Picasso singled out a few specific areas from which I felt our industry could garner greater inspiration and operational prowess. But given how “collaborative” many of these sources of inspiration are, I’ve introduced each of my takeaways with a surprisingly relevant (albeit bad) art-themed pick-up line. After all, if there’s one sector that knows it takes more than one to “tango,” it’s the mRNA industry.

The Price Is… Almost Right: mRNA Edition! COGS Reduction StrategiesThe following article will outline the current state of COGS in the mRNA industry and the work he and his colleagues undertook to more effectively utilize raw materials. But heaven forbid this be your normal conference panel write-up. No, below I share Parrella’s insights, but in the form of a never-before released episode of The Price is Right…or perhaps more fittingly given the state of the industry today, this spectacle is more aptly titled: The Price is…Sort Of, Almost, Not Quite Right!

Here, Ethris’ Christan Dohmen and Tune Therapeutics’ Stu Sundseth share their take on the most meaningful strategies for reducing dsRNA production. But this discussion also probes a deeper question: Is dsRNA still the most relevant impurity the industry should be chasing, or should focus shift to other contaminants?
As our molecules grow more complicated, so, too, does the supply chain. Here, Advancing RNA Live speakers Khaled Yamout & Camp4’s Satya Kuchimanchi talk through how this growth challenges our understanding of raw material quality and how sponsors can better assess their suppliers.
Is synthetic DNA set to replace traditional E. coli-based plasmid DNA in mRNA manufacturing? Panelists weigh in on recent poll results, examining where cell-free DNA synthesis fits today—from rapid-response, small-batch personalized therapies to large-scale production.
While we can make lots of mRNA at a smaller scale, when it comes to scaling up to kg quantities of mRNA, our current batch processes leave a lot to be desired. Together, Stu Sundseth of Tune Therapeutics and Christian Dohmen of Ethris unpack the biggest barriers to scaling IVT to achieve the desired yield and quality of mRNA, offering their take on how the field is innovating to overcome these issues.
